CommSec Market Update · PM 05 Aug 26: ASX hits fresh all-time high · 5 Aug 2026 podcast

We will get to what's happening between the US and Iran. voice-verified

But I think reporting season is important to flag as well because we're more than halfway through US reporting season. voice-verified

And around 86% of US companies have actually beat earnings expectations so far. voice-verified

So that's really been helping to propel US markets higher. voice-verified

But yes, also on the back of hopes of a US-Iran peace deal that will hopefully fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. voice-verified

So that's really been lifting sentiment in global share markets, so overseas overnight, and today in our local session as well. voice-verified

You rightfully point out we've had a good run so far this month. voice-verified

In fact, in the past two weeks, we've only fallen twice. voice-verified

And of course, this is after having our best day in roughly two months just yesterday as well. voice-verified

Yeah, so it was around $120 US that is at its peak. voice-verified

And at the moment, trading roughly near 76 US a barrel. voice-verified

So it has come down quite a lot from its peak. voice-verified

And a lot of that is on the back of hopes that oil will start flowing freely through the critical Strait of Hormuz. voice-verified

Just a reminder, it does carry about one fifth of the world's oil flow. voice-verified

Today, energy stocks down by over 2%, but they are still some of the outperformers so far this year. voice-verified

Another loser today has been Domino's Pizza. voice-verified

In fact, it's the biggest loser as we head into the close. voice-verified

It's down voice-verified

roughly around 3%. voice-verified

Keep in mind, though, it rose 12% last week after releasing its trading update, and it rose by around 7% over the first couple of days of this week. voice-verified
